    The Inn for 30 - Monday, October 22nd

    Wondrer,

    I do not know if your doc would have automagically posted the results of your hormones.

    However, I bet she/he would have. (don't count on it, though)

    You would know if your hormones were related to what you are dealing with.

    But., please, undersatnd, my hormones relate to my drinking, but do not cover my alcoholism. Geeez. I wish it could..... I would love an "easy way out" but alas there is none but my own mind.

    Damn, I am stuck with my own decisions.

      The Inn for 30 - Monday, October 22nd

      Hello guys - just dropped in to the Inn to say hello and get a bit of 'lovely surroundings' stuff... grey and heavy here...too still; that sort of heavy, blah stuff...I'm never good in that! Would go out to town and get distracted...but half term, kids home and although quite big enough (14/18!) both have foul colds and feel rough so I don't want to 'abandon' them! But have things to do later so that's good - if my flaming joints would stop aching!

      Which said...yes, sweaty night last night all round! Not withdrawal for me (TG!!) but these hormones!!!!! Aaaagh! (Chat amongst yourselves chaps please!) I certainly haven't had the night sweats as bad since about 45 days AF (true incentive there girls!) but they ARE foul aren't they!?! Sooooh hot but as soon as you throw the covers off you're freezing - like shivery, ill-with-temperature-freezing.... Hate it! And all soggy and ugh... If you ladies over-the-pond can get hormone checks - lucky! Here I've always found that docs just look at you a bit scared and say, "...might be... no, we don't do checks. It'll go away eventually..."Or they salivate and pour HRT down you without a bye-your-leave as to whether they might make you worse!!! (I have my little patches I use from time to time when I feel the levels drop like a stone... about once a week!) But it's the brain fog, memory and muscle fatigue that gets to me..... scary. Sorry, that doesn't necessarily improve with AF ladies but that sure helps you cope with it if you are!!! (Well, it does me - I am much less defensive!) (I 'state' and am less likely to 'snarl & destroy' now!!)

      The sound of a movie with jammies and pop-corn almost had me crying with longing!! All snuggled up safe with buddies! ooooh! Is there a lovely roaring log-fire-thingy going on there?!? Big thick fur rugs on the floor? Enjoy if you do it this evening wont you! Yup, Wonderful Life sounds the one! Or just re-run of Pretty Woman #23,576,856,459 for me! Never mind, I'll be singing and that'll be lovely - something to get through this 'grey-blah' stuff anyway! I'll be thinking of you!

      Right, MUST do some phone calls - dentists etc...I wonder why I'm procrastinating!?!?!

      Love all round - BTB!! (Ban the Beast!!!) (Isn't it lovely to have such manly men patrolling the grounds fighting him off for you/us!!!! All sort of George and the Dragon heroic stuff!! Got lovely mental images of Don & co. in stealth mode, sweeping around on half bended knee with their swords!!!)

        How funny FMF!! i WISH they guys could "search and destroy" the b@@stard!!

        However, I am doing fine and so are you!!

        We do not need any help to beat this BEAST. He lurks everywhere!! SOB.

        We are doing well, thank you very much!!

        We can enjoy the INN and find our ways around it. I particularly love the massages!!

        Love to you FMF,

          The Inn for 30 - Monday, October 22nd

          Good Morning INN-mates!!

          I do so love you guys. I've been in a bit of a funk, seriously rethinking my role here. Then I logged on here this am and read all the love and support that you give each other and it just lifted my spirits so much. Thank you all so much!!

          Max - As always thanks for watching over us during the night!! How's the training coming?

          Hannah/Deb - Sorry about the insomnia, thanks for starting the tread. Had to give Horatio another day off, his feet were so sore, he couldn't walk to the pool this am.

          Suze- Sorry to hear that you're not yet up to par, but it doesn't sound as if it slows you down much. An exercise challenge sounds great. Let us know when you're ready to get it up and running!!

          Movie night it is. You guys pick the movie(s) and we'll provide the hot buttered popcorn and beverages and of course the milk duds.

          DB2- Hope your daughter is doing well and they decide what needs to be done about her gallbladder. You can have a room with any view you like.

          Mary- How did your weekend go?

          BabyGirl- Welcome to day 2!! Some great advice here about the night sweats. Could be either alcohol withdraw or perimenopause. DB2s advice to see your doc is sound. Here's some more for all of you women "of a certain age" (guys look away from the screen). There's a really great website called Menopause, Menopause Symptoms, Menopause Treatments, Menopause Support. It contains all sorts of helpful information, tips and most importantly, humor!! And a little did you know factoid here--Did you know that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to early menopause and make symptoms much worse?

          RE the general problem with insomnia- It appears that is not doing his job. I'll give his daughter a few days trial and see if things improve. I've also asked the staff to add selection of aromatherapy candles to the guests rooms. We'll start with Jasmine, Lavender and Sandlewood. Just light the one that appeals most to you as they are all recommended for sleep.

          I've also alerted the kitchen to have extra chamomile tea, Yogi bedtime tea and plenty of milk to warm in the evening.

          Sorry it has taken me so long to get this post up this am. A little more topa dopa than usual. Off to interview a reflexologist and some more massueses.

          P.S. Hi Finding-Hope the kiddos get better. Its taking me so long to get this post up, so sorry, more later.
          Love and Peace

            Well... If you were wondering where AL has been lurking...

            I am not sure what my deal was.. I had been doing so good. 24 days AF, then a few days of drinking, another 8 days AF, then for the past two weeks I have been back and forth... a few days AF, then a few days with my wine, etc... I do know however, that the one thing that has been different is I stopped taking my topamax. I stopped just before my retreat, then never went back on. I think I have also wanted to decide if MODS was going to be OK. The jury is still out on that, but I do now that right now I want to be AF - it is jsut important to me. Nothing bad happened to speak of, but I feel the creep of crave, the sneakiness of it, the wwanting just that one more glass than everyone else, but the main reason for me right now is it just feels like it wounds my spirit when I drink.

            So, I have started taking my TOPA again yesterday and I am knocking on the door of the INN hoping that the welcoming comittee is still interested in having me.. can I have my old room back? Or, maybe a fresh room would be better. One with a view of the ocean. I would like to watch each day's sunset knowing I have knocked off another AF day. So, my goal is to stay completely AF for 30 days, check in here each morning, if only for a moment. I also bought a new rowing maching and treadmill, so I will be getting my exercise in even though the snow is begining to fall. Time to hunker down for this girl.

            Slightly - I'm in for a 30 day exercise challenge - what shall we do? I will be exercising at home with my new equipment, but I also bought a ZUMBA tape - it looks like a riot and I love to dance!

            Thank you all for listening and being here... I want to be here for you too, so if I see you hanging out anywhere, or you need a chat, or someone to sit with - just shout out...

            Namaste,

              Hi fellow Inn mates

              Dont know what happened my post yesterday. There seemed to be some problem sending it and then it disappeared.

              Anyway still a guest and am looking forward to getting in my p.j.'s and enjoying the popcorn and movie tonight. I'm with Finding, a log fire is a must!!

                Oh Rob! THREE aromatherapy candles?!?! And I can choose which one to light?!?!?! I'm just so in heaven. I'm losing interest in my real life altogether. I just want to stay here and eat milk duds with my new friends. Mortgage payment, dirty dishes, electric bills, kitty litter box (not to mention AL) be damned! Wah!!!!!!!

                And if you get to feeling a little weary from your inn-keeping duties, Rob well, we could always pamper YOU for a day or 2 - no responsibilities whatsoever. Declare an official "Innkeeper Day" and turn the tables. We'd spoil you within an inch of your life!

                Meditation- "creep of the crave" !!! I haven't heard that one, but soooooo close to home, if you know what I mean. Gives me chills. Glad you're here. Spend a little time in the spa today and relax. And I'll do some sitting practice with you later in the meditation room if you want. I've been hiding out from AL here for over a week now, and I feel SOOOooo much better! The anit-AL security is incredible.

                Hi rustop & FMF & Suze - see you at the movie!

                love to all :h :h :h -

                  Hey guys!! Just want to tell all my friends!! Me and my (sneezy but what the heck!) kids are off to the Scilly Isles tomorrow for the day!!! (My BIG birthday!) One look here Isles of Scilly Holiday & Tourism Guide - Official Travel & Tourist Information and you'll see my excitement! After the let down from big daughter 'up-country' we didn't know what to do and at the last minute I thought of this place - we live soooh close to it and yet, as ever, it's being local that means you never go! It's only just off the tip of England but....sooooooh expensive normally... But it's now officially winter and the October special one day returns are good and they gave me even more off for it being my *0th birthday!! So, we leave the house at 07.55, get to the island at 11.15, fly back at 17.20, train home and walk back in the door for supper (beans on toast by then!) at 19.00!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Walk, bus, airport bus, 50 seater plane for 30 mins, 5.5 hours on the Island, little 8 seater plane (eeeek!) to Land's End (yes, it does exist!), bus and train home!!! I am sooh excited and a little bit nervous!...plus just discovered my passport's out of date. Hope they'll let me out of 'England'! (Actually I seriously do!)

                  I will think of you all - and raise my Coke to you at lunchtime!

                  Thanks for letting me tell you about it! Wish me luck - not done 'flying sober'..... But I will!

                  Really enjoy the movie tonight...I'll catch the late one with you maybe!

                  Love FMF xx
